Per NBC 6 South Florida:
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane, a Cessna 310 carrying three people, went down around 10:20 a.m. after departing from Boca Raton Airport on its way to Tallahassee International Airport.
Boca Raton Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Michael LaSalle said the three people who were on the aircraft were killed and a man who was in a vehicle on the ground was injured. He suffered non-life threatening injuries.
“One gentleman on the ground, he hit a tree because of all the debris and the fire,” LaSalle said. “It was from the fireball on the ground, he drove through apparently the fireball.”
Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed debris scattered across a roadway and on train tracks as fire crews hosed down the wreckage.
The three bodies were seen in the wreckage and a damaged vehicle was also nearby next to a tree.
